While the crooning Negro cotton pickers breaks the monotony of Ahe tor summer heat, cotton growe of Texas, where more than a third of America's cotton crop is grown, eagerly watch the factors that will determine cotton prices this fall. Upon the shoulders of old king eotton rests in a large measure the prosperity of the state in coming | months. A short crop means 20 to |25c a pound and a large crop |means a lower price. | It is a tradition in the south that {the ycar following an area of good cotton prices will see the cotton acreage greatly increased.

As a result, est government eage report show the Texas cotton acreage nine per cent above that of last year. The same situation holds true all other cotton growing states.

Liggett, presi- dent of the United Drug company, in a speech here yesterday. Addressing a druggists' conven- | tion, he declared that the sale of li- quor under government license was not so bad but that the unscrupulous doctor and the unscrupulous drug- gist were “making a mockery of the legitimate drug business.” “Druggists have found how profit- ible liquer can be,” Liggett said. 50 in many cases, desiring to scll more than they can sell under their license, or on prescription, the have deliberately given up their 1 nse, he e by doing so the: | being checked up by the federal authorities, “Thus they have become bootleggers.
